Junebugs Baby Toys With Northside Foes
Junebugs Baby toyed with Northside Downs' top pacers for the fourth straight week, once again closing from the backfield to steal the spotlight in the Saturday (July 2) afternoon feature.
Junebugs Baby trailed the eight-horse field early on in the $1,100 Winners Over Pace and then rallied three-wide off cover at the third quarter mark before drawing away from his competition. He defeated the pacesetting Dreamfair Van Dam by three and a half lengths in 1:58.1 while Putnams Power finished third.
Fraser Turnbull bred, owns, trains and drives the seven-year-old son of Western Paradise and Carols June Bug. John Turnbull Jr. also shares ownership.
Junebugs Baby now has four (consecutive) wins from five starts this year. Lifetime, he boasts 43 victories from 85 races and earnings of $91,529.
